Integrity Toys 3rd reveal for 2013: Fashion Teen Poppy Parker (16")

Yesterday Integrity Toys did their third reveal of the year, showing to WClub members a day ahead of the general public some new collections for fashion doll collectors, who received the updates on email which included, apart from the usual photos and descriptions, links to exclusive videos showing Carol Roth and Alain Trembley discussing and demonstrating the actual doll prototypes. The first line to be shown was none other than the larger version of the popular Poppy Parker doll, Fashion Teen Poppy, who is in 1/4 scale instead of her smaller twin 1/6 scale. The four dolls of the collection were inspired by the four seasons of the year. Let's see them one by one.

First of course is Spring, represented by Glad Game Poppy.

Her look is complete with white gloves and blue pumps. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted, dewdrop blonde hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


All four Poppies in this line were exquisite, a much better showing then its debut last year. The doll does indeed remind one of spring and the detail in the dress and accessories is really good. The bag is incredible.


Item #84002
One Fine Day
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll

The summer Poppy does remind me of one fine day. She wears a white dress with red and black polka dots, a red straw hat and read cat eye sunglasses. She finishes off the look with a red straw purse, red heels, white gloves and a red beaded bracelet. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted scorching blonde hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


I fell in love with this one. So much so that I caved in and ordered her! What's not to like? Her dress is amazing, especially with the tailored detail on top and its polka dot print. Her accessories are amazing: the shoes, the bag, the bracelet and earrings, are all exemplary. Plus she fits nicely with many of my larger dolls wearing mid 20th century outfits. I am currently watching the second season of Magic City and she could fit right in.


Item #84003
Magic Moment 
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013


Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Autumn Red
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"


The Autumn Poppy wears a leopard print evening gown accented with a black belt and black opera length gloves. She carries a gold clutch and wears matching gold heels. To complete the look is a black faux fur wrap. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted, autumn red hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


I can confess this was one strong contender for ordering but I decided to get only one this time and One Fine Day won. Magic Moment looks like a large red-headed BG Poppy (this screening!) and the gloves look great (they might be difficult to put on the doll, even though they have a button-fastening opening at the wrist). I'm not crazy about the leopard print and the clutch is very generic. The shoes though look great. A very sultry Poppy, a bit rare for this doll.


Item #84004
Winter Wowzers!
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll 
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013

Rounding off the collection is winter! Poppy wears an ensemble consisting of a yellow sweater with black stirrup pants, an animal print coat, earmuffs and yellow gloves. The outfit comes with a pair of black boots with white faux fur trim and white pompoms. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted raven hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


Yes, this one has ear muffs! She looks ready to hit the slopes! I did not expect winter to have the raven haired doll (a platinum blonde is more reminiscent of the season I think) but she looks great. I'd rather see a smaller scale on the animal print coat though - or a larger one. This looks awkward. The mittens look like the ones used for the oven, hahaha. They should have been knit ones I suppose. I do hope they take care of the finish on the edge of the boots with the fur, it looks a bit cheap done like that.


The dolls are already available at all Integrity dealers so go get them!
